Weekly shop cost!

[Thehonestbadger]

I know it’s nothing new. I see these threads every few weeks but yesterday I had a proper ‘what the hell?’ moment. I sat and worked out how much we spent in supermarkets last month. Honestly felt sick when I realised. I won’t start this telling you as want to see what others are spending before I own up to ours 🤦‍♀️(it’s bad)

So my questions.

1. how much are you spending per week/month in the supermarket?
2. Do you do ‘big weekly’ shops or multiple smaller shops?

To avoid a drip feed, two of our household have allergies and one has ASD. Two adults, two children both in nappies and a cat. clothes (rarely for us mostly for kids) and gifts/special occasion items included in supermarket shop. I used to do big weekly shops but now do multiple smaller. Definitely think that’s made it worse.

i agree, i look twice a vegetables, again, i always used to, but now i am thinking, do i really need expensive pre packed purple sprouting brocolli for instance
let alone brocolli, which we are not that fond of.

Yes you might be right, I know it's a big debate how much difference cloth nappies make!

We don't tumble dry but obviously have the extra laundry costs. Our main reason for cloth nappies isn't financial though but is to reduce single use plastic going to landfill 😊
